I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

The abbot vowed.

……

Chapter 40 Bibotan, Halloween Princess

In order to thoroughly investigate the matter, at Gu Ming's suggestion, the abbot ordered someone to bring the roster of monks in the temple.

Because of the special status of Jinguang Temple, the roster of the temple was personally approved and marked by the kings of all dynasties.

Therefore, the roster is unlikely to be falsified.

Gu Ming first took the roster to the palace and asked the king to confirm that it was correct, and then went back to Jinguang Temple to count them one by one.

In the end, there was indeed one Bula, and they were all in the temple.

Next, Gu Ming questioned one by one... to confirm that the monks in the temple were indeed innocent, and they were not self-stealing.

At the same time, Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Drifting Monk also searched the temple carefully with their magical powers, but they did not find the relic.

This shows that the relic is indeed not in the temple.

"Elder Tang, Gu Shangxian, not only the king, but also many people in Jisai Kingdom think that the monks of our Jinguang Temple stole the relics.

If this matter cannot be clarified, the old monk and all the monks in the temple will bear a stain forever, and at the same time, it will bring shame to my Buddhist school.

Here, I implore the two of you to find a way to help find the relic, and I... kowtow to you..."

The abbot was in tears, and he was about to kneel when he bent his legs.

"The old abbot must not!"

Tang Seng quickly reached out to help.

"The abbot doesn't need to be too polite. We will find a way to deal with this matter."

Gu Ming raised his hand slightly, a surge of true energy gushed out to support the abbot.

"Thank you, thank you Shangxian, thank you Shangxian!"

The abbot was very grateful and thanked repeatedly.

After the abbot left, Tang Seng couldn't help but frowned and said: "Shangxian, we have no idea about this matter, how should we proceed?"

"Elder Tang, this matter is very strange. I can be sure that it is not the monks in the temple who guarded themselves..."

"Will it cooperate with the inside and the outside?"

In the past, Tang Seng would never doubt Buddhist disciples for no reason.

However, he has experienced too many ups and downs along the way, and was even almost burned to death by the monks of Guanyin Temple. How could he still be as naive as before?

Doubt what should be doubted.

"I've thought about this too..." Gu Ming nodded: "For example, I thought about the collusion between the monks and the guards in the temple to steal the relics."

"Yes, yes, if it is really a cooperation between the inside and the outside, then it will be easy to explain the current situation.

There are quite a few monks in the temple, and there are no relics in the temple..."

Gu Ming smiled and waved his hand: "I had the same doubts before? But after some inquiries? I can confirm that the monks really don't know, and it is impossible to cooperate with the outside world."

"Then... what about those guards?"

"I haven't interrogated the guard yet? But I guess the possibility of the guard stealing it is relatively small. High probability? It was stolen by a monster."

"monster?"

Tang Seng was taken aback.

"Yes, some monsters are born to like to collect all kinds of treasures. So? I think now we can focus on tracking down the monsters in or around the Jisai country."

Tang Seng couldn't help sighing: "In this case, we can only rely on the three disciples of the Shangxian and the poor monk to investigate."

"Don't worry, Elder Tang? Whether the relic can be recovered or not? But I believe that whoever stole the relic can be traced."

"Well, thank you, Shangxian!"

Gu Ming's first object of suspicion was naturally the Nine-Headed Insect.

After all, it was this guy who stole the relic in the original plot.

So? Gu Ming found Brother Sun Wukong and began to discuss the pursuit of relics.

Gu Ming briefly explained his thoughts first, then said: "I think it is more likely that the monster stole this matter, so we can split up.

Wujing stayed at Jinguang Temple to protect Elder Tang, and also to report to him if something happened.

Wukong and Bajie are with me at Bibotan? This is the closest place to Wangcheng.

As far as I know, there is a dragon king in this Bibotan? The name is Wansheng Dragon King.This Halloween Dragon King has a daughter named Wansheng Princess, who looks beautiful? Enchanting and charming..."

"Great, let the old pig deal with her..."

Zhu Bajie can't listen to beauties? As soon as he hears there are beauties, he immediately gets excited.

Gu Ming smiled and said: "Listen to me first... This Wansheng princess recruited a son-in-law? Named nine-headed son-in-law? And its body is a nine-headed bird, which belonged to the ancient beast girl Huo Niao. Descendants, the strength should not be underestimated."

"Oh? From the meaning of Shangxian, could it be that the nine-headed monster stole the relic?"

"This is just my guess. Whether it is true or not can be found out."

"Okay, then let's go to Bibotan to meet the nine-headed monster."

After some searching, the three of them flew to the vicinity of Bibotan.

In order to prevent surprises, Gu Ming decided to go into the water first to find out.

"Wukong, Bajie, you two wait outside first, pay attention to the situation around you, I'll go down and check the situation before we talk."

"it is good!"

Sun Wukong responded.

But Zhu Bajie said impatiently: "Remember to leave that princess to Lao Zhu to deal with it himself."

Gu Ming smiled and jumped into the water in a flash.

When he was about to dive to the bottom, a patrolling shrimp soldier spotted Gu Ming and immediately stepped forward to ask him.

In the end, Gu Ming restrained him and forced him to ask about the situation of the Wansheng Dragon Palace...

This question is really rewarding, the relic was indeed stolen by the nine-headed worm.

After asking, Gu Ming directly knocked the shrimp soldier unconscious, then turned into a shrimp soldier and swam towards the Dragon Palace.

When he was about to enter the Dragon Palace, suddenly, there was a wave of greetings...

"I've seen the son-in-law!"

Consort?

Isn't that the nine-headed worm?

Gu Ming hid among the crowd of soldiers and crab generals and glanced over. Sure enough, a luxuriously dressed man with an aloof look didn't look sideways, just nodded slightly, and then rose towards the water.

Gu Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally quietly followed behind...

When he surfaced, the nine-headed worm had already soared into the air, leaving only a small black dot.

Gu Ming thought for a while, and ran to find Monkey King and Zhu Bajie.

"Shangxian figured out the situation so quickly?"

Sun Wukong couldn't help but said in surprise.

"No, just when I was about to enter the Dragon Palace, I met the Nine-Headed Insect going out. That's good, I have a new plan.

Now that this guy has left, why don't we change into his appearance and get back the relic first. "

"Haha, okay, this method is good, it's better to let the old pig look like that guy."

Zhu Bajie also thought of something good, and the corners of his mouth were drooling.

"Then you change..."

Sun Wukong mocked.

Zhu Bajie looked excited and his body trembled...

"Wait, I haven't seen that guy again, how did it change?"

Gu Ming smiled, and with a thought, he turned into a nine-headed worm.

"Okay, let's see the old pig turn into another..."

Zhu Bajie shook his body again...

Sun Wukong was speechless.

Because, Zhu Bajie has changed, but unfortunately his body has grown twice, and he still has a big belly.

Although this Zhu Bajie can change 36 times, it has a disadvantage, that is, it can only change in a big way, but in a small way... It seems a bit powerless to change.

Even if you become a child, you are still a fat, plus-size child.

Obviously, it is impossible to get away with this appearance.

Sun Wukong couldn't help saying: "Shangxian, if you are wronged to become that guy, Lao Sun and Bajie will become the guards of the Dragon Palace, then it will be easy to respond."

"Okay, let's go!"

So, the three of them changed a bit, and dived into the water again to the Dragon Palace.

"what?"

Seeing that the "son-in-law" had just left and returned, the soldiers and crab generals were a little surprised.

Then they greeted each other...

"I've seen the son-in-law!"

Gu Ming knew that the Nine-Headed Insect was aloof by nature, and he had seen this guy like to put on airs before, so he said nothing lazily, nodded slightly and walked into the Dragon Palace.

As for Monkey King and Zhu Bajie, according to the plan, they became Dragon Palace guards to facilitate their actions and support.

After entering the Dragon Palace, Gu Ming swaggered towards the east side.

In the previous forced confession, he had roughly asked about the environment distribution of Dragon Palace.

Moreover, the Dragon Palace here is incomparable with the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas, and the scale is much smaller, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.

"Meet the consort!"

When approaching the bedroom, the two maids outside the door Qi Qifu saluted.

Gu Ming still looked aloof, just nodded and stepped in.

"Husband, why... are you back again?"

In the garden, when a beautiful and coquettish woman saw Gu Ming appear, she couldn't help but get up in surprise and greet her.

This time, Gu Ming stopped pretending.

Although he has never been in contact with the Nine-Headed Insect, he is a character in his writing after all, and he is quite clear about the Nine-Headed Insect's personality.

Although this guy is aloof outside, he doesn't put on airs in front of the Halloween Princess and the Halloween Dragon King.

Firstly, he is a door-in-law son-in-law, and secondly, this guy likes Princess Halloween very much, otherwise he would not be a door-in-law son-in-law with his haughty personality.

"That... I suddenly remembered that I seem to have missed something..."

Gu Ming didn't know what Nine-Headed Insect was doing or where he was going, so he made up an excuse.

"Oh? What could it be?" Halloween Princess frowned: "Didn't it be agreed to only exchange relics?"

Take relics in exchange?

So, the relic is no longer in the Wanshenglonggong?

Gu Ming's heart sank...

"Husband? What's the matter with you? Your complexion is a little bad. Are you tired recently?"

"This...it should be..."

Gu Ming didn't know the situation, so he could only follow what Princess Wansheng said.
